Supporters are reminded of the bag policy that was introduced at the start of the 2024/25 season when attending matches at Craven Cottage.
A Bag Drop facility, located at Ormiston Bridge Academy on Greswell Street (open three hours prior to kick-off and two hours after the match has finished), will continue to be provided by the Club, but for season 2024/25 this will no longer be free of charge. A payment (card only) of £5 will be charged for all items, other than prams, buggies and mobility aids which will be exempt from any charge. (All proceeds will be donated to Fulham FC Foundation.)
Funds raised from the FFC Bag Drop will support Fulham FC Foundation’s mission of building better lives through sport. Fulham FC Foundation work with a broad range of the community, supporting disabled young people, refugees, socially isolated adults, people with mental health challenges and many others, engaging over 10,000 local residents across South-West London each season.
This work comes via 25 programmes under eight themes: Disability, Football and Sport Participation, Health and Wellbeing, Player Pathways, Primary Schools, Secondary Education, Training & Careers, Women & Girls and Youth & Community.
Being part of the Fulham Family means access to inspiring sessions across Hammersmith & Fulham, Wandsworth, Kingston, Lambeth, Merton and Surrey, each designed to support participants in achieving their goals.
Staff from Fulham FC Foundation will be in attendance at the FFC Bag Drop, with materials available about how supporters can get involved with Fulham FC Foundation programmes.

If a bag is required for medical or childcare purposes, your bag does not adhere to the policy and you may apply for an exemption. Acceptable evidence for an exemption can include any of the following:
- A statement of higher or middle rate disability living allowance (DLA)
- Receipt of either the Severe Disablement Allowance or Attendance Allowance
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Qualifying annual uprating letter
- The Access Card (Details available from www.accesscard.org.uk)
- Registration document which certifies that you are Registered Blind or Partially Sighted
- Veterans Agency letter confirming War Disablement Pension
- A personal letter outlining your access requirements from your hospital specialist (within reasonable date)
If a resident outside of UK, please use equivalent documentation.
The above is not exhaustive, and we do consider each application on a case-by-case basis.
